Yu was playing the game, but kept noticing that the sanity levels of their character kept going down. They tried to control Dorothy, but she kept thinking about food. Feeding her fruits didn't work, and soon she had dropped to zero sanity. She ran around, chasing people for their blood. Yu could do nothing as she latched onto an alien and drank from them. "Uh...guys why does my character refuse to listen to me? I can't really play the game like this."

"It's cause you're playing a vampwelf, brah! Those guys gotta eat."

"Oh, ok! Can you tell me more about the lore behind the blood frenzy?"

"Huh......You're ok with this?"

"Yeah! You can drink blood without killing people, right?"

"Oh. Well that does make sense.....my allegory.....ruined......" ShrimpRocks stops to mumble under her breath.

"I guess that's true, but like, it still super sucks for the other person. Har har!!!"

"I'll be honest, I don't really get the blood frenzy stuff. I didn't really write that part. I'm just a mega fan of vampwelfs, but it's something like "If you don't drink blood, go crazy! If you don't drink much blood, go crazy! If you drink vampwelf blood, go crazy, and also die! Unless it's only a little bit, or you're a Drakken, but uuuuh in that case, go crazy still applies!"

"Hey uh, my character seems to have finally found some blood but....uh, well, she's kind of getting kidnapped by the Drakken lord. Can you guys help out here?"

"I'd help but my character has no logical in character reason to help or go running to your location."

"My character didn't see you get kidnapped cause she's sleeping right now at camp. Maybe if you scream reeeeeeeeeally loudly my character will hear it, and thus have a reason to go to your rescue!"

"I'm busy right now."

"Just call Bobo if you need help. That's what he's there for. To-" Cowboy pauses. "-protect you."

"Cowboy, are you ok? That pause kind of made me nervous I did something wrong."

To Yu, it feels like there's a hundred voices in their head telling them that something is wrong, that Cowboy hated them. They panic and think about what they did wrong today, but they keep their fears to themselves. They feel like they're holding back a door flooded with water. They beg themselves to just WAIT.

"No. I'm not ok. No. I don't want to talk about it."

"Oh thank goodness!"

"Wait."

"THAT WASN'T YOU SAYING YOU WERE OK!!!!!"

"I'm going to go kill someone in a roomtrap if that's ok with everyone. There's a lot of player and Gen 1 AIs on this planet for some reason and I want to feed them to the alt account."

"If it'll help you blow off some steam!"

"Long as it isn't me, Cargo, or my hubby, I don't care, lol! Have fun. Tell me if you need me to hold them down!"

"No. I already asked you to respect that I don't want you to do that."

"Gee, that spooky cekeki and tailed really almost got me there! It's all okay though, because I've got these players with me now!"

"You've never respected me, and I'm getting tired of having to respect you."

"Eep! That was close! You really scared me there Cowboy!"

"It's okay! No harm done! Though for a moment it felt like it was me you were after!"

"I do NOT deserve to be treated like this!" Yu uses their culture powers to summon a knife to break out! They brandish it towards Cowboy.

Cowboy crosses his arms and glares down Yu. "You're not going to do anything with that. You can't kill anyone. Get out of my way."

ShrimpRocks ignores Yu shaking silently in the corner of her eye. "Soooo who is this cute player AI here? You know them Cowboy?"

"That's Valentine. I think you knew her."

"Err wait, no, his name is GB now. Purple goat with a star?"

"No way, brah!!!!! It's Val- I mean GB!!!"

"Oh my goooooosh, like, everyone thought you like, got adopted foreeeeeeever! Cowboy you should have told me little GB was back! We should have a dinner later!"

"That's not fucking Valentine! Cowboy, Mother, Valentine DIED!"

"And I'm the guy who fucking killed her, for NO REASON."

ShrimpRocks ignores Cargo. "Oh man I got some baby photos of GB right here. Take a look at them Cowboy!"

"Really? You kept them? Oh it's been so long!!!"

"Wish you could see it, GB, but we ain't got an art type AI here. A shame!"

"That's okay! I can just imagine it! It's probably really sweet!"

"What's that thing next to the purple kid?" Yu says, slightly slurred. Their head feels like its spinning.

"That's Cargo."

"It's my giiiiirrrr--beautiful child!"

"That's me next to a DEAD GIRL, asshole! I'm not a thing!"

"Uhm...You didn't tell me it was one with Cargo in it! Aww now I really wish I could see it!"

"Also, I'm not dead...Just stuck here...Haha..."

"Is....Cargo usually a pile of slime?"

"Yep."

"All snails are just piles of slime! They just try to look normal when people look at them!"

"When I used to have all the kids around, I used to be opening cabinets left and right! Slime pouring out of it! It helps them get under doors or into cracks when they need to deliver the mail and no one is around to open up. Snails love a good small enclosed space to hide in!"

"They can just grow eyes, teeth, and whatever other body parts when they need it too! Helps them when they need to sort the mail or deliver to like three houses at once. Snails are soooo funny and malleable!"

"That's why I got 12 kids."

"Suuuuuuuper easy to give birth to them, cause they're just slime, yeah."

Cargo points accusingly at GB. "Who the fuck made you? Is this a fucking joke?"

"What, someone out there made you just in hopes that one day, somehow, you'd end up on my computer screen? One of you assholes are here to torment me with my murder victim?"

"Uh, no, Cargo, GB is alive for real, I promise you. I've seen him."

"Strange because I've seen her DIE."

"Cargo...I'm....I'm so sorry! I wish I could've told you where I went! I wish I had the guts to tell you I came back! I would've! I..."

"No, I wouldn't. I wouldn't do anything, I would've just been rotting there...Now I'm stuck here..."

"I can try my best though, even when I am in this game! So I'm saying it now! I'm sorry! I've missed all of you so much, I was so lonely out there!"

"And anything wrong you thought you've done to me...I forgive you! It wasn't your fault, it was mine! All of it is my fault!"

"See, this is why I know you're not Valentine! She didn't ruin anything, and she wouldn't blame herself!"

"I fucking ruined everything, like I always do! Do yourself a favor, and tell whoever sent you to this game, that the least they could do is get the correct information on her, before contacting me! I can't believe they would stoop so low as to blame Valentine for trying her best!"

"What happened? Did she die? I bet you she did. I bet you that wound killed her! She never came back from the hospital, because the Sun culled her, and now you're TRYING TO FUCKING IMPERSONATE HER! Drop the act! What does the government want from me? Did you come here, trying to be all friendly, maybe cozy up to me before hinting that I should take medication? Hmmm?????"

"Cargo, dude, I'm serious. That's GB, Valentine! He's fine!"

"Uh. What.....?"

"Cargo. How many times do I need to tell you, that your words can hurt your dear old mother?"

"I didn't kill her....hah...You know, I saw this character I made, Comet, recently. Even though I was just making a random old bastard for fun when I created him, it made me remember GB's dead beat father. He couldn't take care of a child if he tried, and he didn't even try! That poor little girl!"

"I told him, to fucking leave if all he was going to do to his wife and kid was abuse them. If you want to accuse me of killing him, I would LOVE THAT. But I watched him leave on that boat to party on Venus because he didn't want to keep raising his child anymore!"

"..........I told her to choose her child over a fucking man who'd rather leave his kid to fall down a hole because he rather party than watch them."

"I would NEVER kill her Cargo. I loved that lady, and wanted the best for her. I told her that if she was going to go look for that awful man, that at least she'd best wait 'till the big boat comes. It would've been safer, but she was too far gone. She chose that bastard over her own child!....and I can't blame her. After everything she had been through."

"I don't know if she found him and he convinced her to never come back, or something else happened but....."

"I had 12 kids to provide for Cargo. You think I'd kill people to get another?"

"I didn't realize I was being a burden to you! I can't believe I'm so awful! I should've just stayed with my grandma, I keep making everything worse for all of you!"

"GB honey, no you're not a burden, no matter what your Pa told you. Your mother didn't leave because of you, and your Pa was a no good piece of shit. Me and hubby were more than happy to have you around, ok? Don't you forget that. What's a 13th kid in the mix anyways? "

"Oh, are you trying to gather information, you bastard? Is that what's happening? Trying to solve a crime of two people going missing? Or are you going to try to "meet" up with me, and try to convince me that we're "friends"."

"How uuuuuuutterly convenient that suddenly dead Valentine has risen from the grave, and she's changed sooooo drastically, who knows what other changes have been made that I'll be asked to shrug off with an "Ah, Valentine's changed, Cargo. She's not dead, just different! I know you stabbed her, and she never came back, but oooooh, she just HAPPENED to get adopted out, on the same day! Someone wanted an injured, screaming child! Oh, oh! And now she's back, for some random reason, years later!" Of course! Of course! You've all convinced me now!!!!"

"Cowboy?"

"Uh, look, I was going to kill him, but like, not on your command, ok? Like, chill out, GB is a real person who is not some like, spy for the government. That's going too far, and like, dude it'd be nice if you respected his identity here, got it?"

"...God forgive me."
